Hi!
I have one not-standard Q:
Is possible to detect that computer has installed JiffyDOS ROMs KERNAL-128 and KERNAL-64?
I need to detect it for continuing program which has menu (want to remove) for selecting:
Have JiffyDOS/Don't have JiffyDOS
I want to remove this menu and let computer detect if is JiffyDOS installed, better can be if it can detect also version of JiffyDOS...
Many many thanks for every help.

I do not have JIFFYDOS ROM for C128, but I do have JIFFY DOS images that I downloaded from Wiskow's website. When I compare JIFFYDOS ROM image with standard KERNAL ROM, I find many many differances. I don't know what is the best test, but here is an example...
(JIFFYDOS ROM)
.E34B 20 15 FD JSR $FD15
(standard KERNAL ROM)
.E34B 20 8C E3 JSR $E38C
So you could try...
(assume BANK 15)
LDA $E34D
CMP #$E3
BEQ standard_kernal_rom
jiffydos_rom:
;whatever...
JMP exit
standard_kernal_rom:
;whatever...
exit:
;whatever...
I hope that makes sense! And there are many other ways you could test the ROMs... that is only the first method that came to my mind...
